KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) – A ticket booth caught fire at Crawford Field in St. Albans after a high school football game Friday night.

Today, the rebuilding process looms on the horizon with support pouring in, regardless of uniform.

St. Albans and Capital high schools may face off on the Capital football field Monday night, but the goal is to rise above the competition by helping raise money for the Red Dragons as they work to reconstruction.

“The kids really thought about it. We were talking about it the other night and they said, ‘wouldn’t it be great if we could do something, how could we help,'” said Tracey Wilson, a Capital High School parent. “So the parents got together with some of the boosters and we thought ‘why not?’”

Capital High School decided to pool all proceeds from concession stand purchases, along with donations collected, to help St. Albans rebuild what was lost in the fire.

“We know how difficult it is to run a program and make something like this happen. It just hurts us, and we just wanted to do whatever we could to help them in their time of need,” said Clifton Clark, a Capital High School parent.

If you would like to donate, the St. Alban Red and Black Athletic Club has organized a GoFundMe.
